spore-bearing structure formation
sporulation +
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a spore over time, from its initiation to the mature structure. A spore is a structure that can be used for dissemination, for survival of adverse conditions because of its heat and desiccation resistance, and/or for reproduction.
